Origin
Alentejo, Alentejo, Portugal

The vines grow between Vidigueira and Cuba on predominantly poor, schist-influenced soils; some vineyards are also planted on clay-sandy soils and face west. The grapes are hand-harvested, sorted, destemmed and fermented in the traditional stone Lagar with foot pressing and indigenous yeasts. The wine is matured for twelve months in French oak barrels, followed by six months in bottle. In the glass, it shows concentrated black fruit, balsamic and spicy notes, mineral freshness, balanced acidity and structured, age-worthy tannins.
